I started to read
the death notices every week.
I’ve got to the age
that the names are familiar to me.
When winter arrives
my bones now start to creak.
I guess I should be thankful
that the reaper has let me be.
Some of the faces
from my youth have been taken,
leaving families
behind, alone and devastated.
It makes me appreciate
the morning when I awaken
and makes me think twice
about feeling frustrated.

May you live a long and healthy life. Bless you!
